Easter Greetings!!

Happy Easter everyone!!! Our Easter started right at midnight, when Mike got called into work because it was snowing. I woke up at 6:15 and he still wasn't home. We ended up getting 1.5 inches, it's melting off now, but coming down again. He called me to say he was on his way home and not tired, so I started some breakfast, bacon and french toast!! YUM We woke the kids up a little before 8, I had already set their Easter baskets out. They ate breakfast and not a single kid asked about the big ole baskets of candy!! Finally KINZIE went over and started investigating. Amazingly she went straight to her own basket and kept trying to rip it open! Mike then called the boys in from the toy room and said, hey are ya interested in these baskets over here? Of course THEN they were really excited! So the tearing open commenced, and then the 'can we have our candy' started. The boys are now off playing with their Diego explorer sets, Kinzie just keeps trying to get candy!

Bigger than she is!
Not looking very excited! He had to wait because the camera was acting up, then I snapped it before he smiled again!










Louie just kept asking questions about the Easter bunny, are these baskets from you? No the Easter bunny, WHO'S the Easter Bunny, She's a bunny who gives gifts, ITS A GIRL!?!?





On a sadder note, we decided to get rid of our cat Sophee. She was a delight while we had her, but I didn't think I could handle 3 kids and a cat while Mike was gone. I couldn't change the litter box for a month, AND if I wanted to go home to have the baby I would have had to find a catsitter for 3 months or so. Charlie told her good-bye, sad see ya later, and then said I am getting a pupy!! So I guess the kids aren't really botherered, they haven't asked about her yet!! Anyway, these are the last pictures I took, (the 'here's a pic of the free cat' pictures.) She was taken in less than 2 minutes!

strollers and slides

So I finally got our new double stroller in the mail, a month after we got the car seat! I am soo excited to be able to use it (well both actually!) I expect that I will break it out BEFORE the baby gets here. It might have been the best baby accessory I have ever purchased!






A couple weekends ago, the weather was just gorgeous so we took the kids out to the park. They had so much fun! We started out at a medium sized park where I used up all my card space, and THEN we moved to a big park. Next time I will save some room. Hope you enjoy seeing the delight on their faces!
He wiped out!

Happy little family!






Lil muscle man was climbin the wall!







It was wet, so he couldn't sit down.






Barely missed each other

Trying to coax Kinzie down the slide












a lil update on Kinzie, she went to her dr appt last week and was almost 21 lbs, and he measured her at 33 inches. He said she is growing well, and is not concerned at all! So all is good!
